About Newt

Newt is a striking, large boy who arrived at the shelter as a stray, seeking safety and comfort. When he came in, he had a small wound, likely acquired while scavenging for food on the streets. After receiving proper care, he's now healed and his sweet nature has truly emerged. At around four years old, he’s a calm soul looking for a serene environment, preferably without children or dogs. Though he was uncertain about his past, Newt seems at ease with the other cats in the shelter. With a gentle introduction, he may thrive alongside another feline companion. This loveable guy is ready to find a nurturing home where he can finally relax and feel secure. Newt has been neutered and is up to date on vaccinations. He has also been combo tested negative (FIV-/FeLV-), microchipped, dewormed, and flea treated. For a loving adopter, Newt’s adoption fee is $200. Give Newt the forever home he deserves; he's just waiting for you!
